Safe to Install New Dual Boot? - eviltoast
Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs
www.theverge.com
The update wasn’t supposed to reach dual-boot PCs.

My GF recently said I can install Linux on her laptop. Then I saw Windows broke dual boot systems.

Is it safe to do a dual boot if she already has the update that broke dual booting?

Should I just figure out how to install Windows in a VM for her?

Appreciate any insight y’all can offer

    It should be safe, although for the future, I’d recommend installing the os to a completely separate drive and changing boot device by uefi.
